Fergie Tells Us How She Knew Josh Duhamel Was The One

Sitting down with Fergie—wife to Josh Duhamel and mom to son Axl—is a lesson in confidence. The 5'3" stunner exudes it, and who could blame her? Rock star, fashion designer, cosmetics queen, and TV personality, she has certainly worked hard to get where she is, and she's proud of it. I recently caught up with her at the Walgreens flagship store in Los Angeles, where she was supporting her cosmetics partner, Wet 'n Wild, which partnered with Walgreens for the More Kisses campaign (25 cents of every sale of Wet 'n Wild Think Pink lipstick until Dec. 31 will be donated to the American Cancer Society). Read on!

Fergie wowed in a Alexander McQueen design paired with her own Fergie Footwear.

Glamour: What lip color does Josh like best on you?

Fergie: He appreciates when I get dolled up and do a red. There's a red that I named after my character in Nine called Saraghina. It's a really nice pop for my skin tone. He appreciates that, but my daily go-to is Fergie Daily, which is a very basic nude, and that's fine too. I love to do a good red, but it's a lot of upkeep. I'm also really loving the Think Pink lipstick that I'm wearing today too.

Glamour: Does Axl like kisses or does he get all squirmy?

Fergie: It depends on his mood. When he's in the mood, it's a big open-mouth celebration! [Laughs]

Glamour: What makes for the best kiss?

Fergie: The passion! The passion behind the kiss!

Glamour: What has been your most memorable kiss with Josh?

Fergie: Haha! Hmmm...well, he's definitely kissed me all over my body! I can think of a few spots that tingle more than others. [Laughs]

Glamour: Last time I interviewed Josh, I asked him how he knew you were The One, and he said that he just always knew you were his girl forever.

Fergie: Oh my gosh! I want to cry. I love that he said "my girl." Aww.

Glamour: So how did you know?

Fergie: How did I know? He has so many amazing qualities that are compatible with me and my personality that it just...it doesn't fit, but it fits. It's the yin and the yang. I'm the boss at work, but when I go home, I'm his girl.

Glamour: He also said he wants to be more courageous with his fashion choices because you are. So what are your tips for stepping out of your comfort zone but still staying true to oneself?

Fergie: If you're comfortable in a certain look, take that look and magnify it. If you're into blazers, try a blazer with a deconstructed edge on the hem. Take whatever your comfort zone is and just go a little bit at a time. It's baby steps. Then you'll find that that's your comfort zone, and you'll veer even further. Take your comfort zone and go bigger with it and start branching out.

Glamour: Axl is turning one on August 29. How has your life changed in ways you didn't expect?

Fergie: All these mommy feelings that I never knew...I knew I was going to feel something. Everybody tells you that you're going to feel this extraordinary love, but it's really indescribable until you really experience it. If I don't see him all day, I miss him. I don't want to miss anything.

Fergie: He just had his first steps two days ago! We're in baby-proof mode all over. We're figuring it out because a lot of the stuff is very unattractive, so we're trying to find ways to chic it up a bit. Some of the stuff we're customizing and doing leather and cushioning it.

Glamour: Whose personality does Axl have?

Fergie: Both of us. He's completely split down the middle. He's just a doll! Both of us are outgoing, so he definitely got that trait, but he's also a bit of a thinker. He does the scan to decide if he'll let you in.

Glamour: He needs to have a playdate with Prince George. Sounds like they are a lot alike!

Fergie: Yeah! [Laughs] They'd be super cute! Axl would tackle him! Because we do roughhousing and tackle. He loves that, so we have to be careful with him around other kids because he thinks it's all one big bear hug and some of the kids are a little bit more shy.

Glamour: What do you have coming up the rest of the year?

Fergie: My solo album! I'm working on it now, but it will be before the end of the year.

Glamour: How are you balancing everything?

Fergie: I'm a great scheduler. I'm an i-Cal-ologist. All the different colors! It's all about finding time and putting things down in the schedule and making appointments with yourself. It takes work though!
